Hello all..

So I am almost done. 1 question.

I have the rti6s as surround. rti 10 front csi5 center.Just got my BK200.7

should I get another pair of rti6 for the Back channel.

The way the room is set up (it's narrow) the seats go from wall to wall, so I have the surround set up as rear surround on far corners. should I get another pair and hang them equidistant across the back wall? So I would have 4 rear surround speakers..

whatchya think?

    No. Not in a narrow room. There's probably a better use of your money. What are the dimensions of the room? What kind of sub do you have? What kind of cables are you using?

    I did it in my room just because I upgraded my fronts and had two extra speakers. My setup sounds similar to yours and honestly I didn't notice a big difference. I don't think I would spend $250 to add them if that was my only option.

    nice movie room... Thanks, guess I'll hold off until I have a real movie room one day. guess I bought more amp than I needed too!! But I bought with the future in mind.

    thanks for the feedback.

    ps. I have the psw505 sub... I have ghetto monocables all around (speaker wire 12awg, hdmi1.3, component), but i would be much easier to convince to spend 250 on speakers over cables any day.

    thanks, by the way when I said my setup sounds similar to yours, I ment by layout and configuration. Your componants are way better the mine and I would love to have them!

    If you're looking to burn the money on RTi6's it wouldn't hurt anything. You already got the amp and it will impress your friends more. :D
